Hello hiveians

Happy new week and a beautiful Monday morning to you all #needleworker. Today being Monday, it is time to show our different creativity @needleworkmonday and today, as usual, I will be sharing with you the finished process of a short gown I made for my little sister on her birthday.

Yesterday, I made a post on how I drafted out the bodice of the dress and how I cut and sew the dress but after sewing, the dress was too short to the measurement I took but I have exhaust the 1yard of fabric she bought.

Thinking of what to add to the dress to make it longer and also to the sleeves, I remembered I had a left over black organza, when I checked, it was about 2yards, so I decided to use it for the sleeves and also to add to the hem of the dress.

I cut out 1440 flare (360° flare in 4 places) which I took to the market and weave it thick fishing line to make the flare stand.

After that, I cut out the sleeves and added 2" sequence as band to the wrist.

Finally, this is the beautiful outcome of the dress.

Thanks so much for taking out time to read through my post and for your support, have a great week ahead.
